What I'm looking for

I seek for new professional angles to apply my enegry. So if you consider I am “a bit about other thing”, try me!

I am anyways available for leveraging partnership development, academic program leadership, where I can build cross-functional teams, drive strategic roadmaps, and expand international collaborations. And definitely more.

I am a proactive, results-driven project manager and department head with extensive experience in stakeholder engagement, partnership development, and cross-functional team leadership.

I have led faculty-level operations —overseeing academic administration, KPI monitoring, and departmental reporting —while managing digital communications and brand-building across social channels and web platforms.

I developed and maintained local and international partnerships, coordinated academic mobility programs, supported accreditation and grant efforts, and organized outreach events that boosted enrollment and alumni engagement. And actually, had fun meanwhile ;)

I combine strong research experience and practical project lifecycle management to turn strategic plans into actionable roadmaps, create campaigns, and deliver measurable outcomes for educational and public-sector initiatives.
